How to prepare fermented garlic in honey
Ingredients:
- Garlic
- Quality honey (we recommend honey from reliable producers)
Preparation:
Preparing the garlic: Start by peeling the garlic and cutting it into cloves. Then crush them with a knife to release allicin – the key active compound in garlic. You don’t need to completely mash the garlic; it’s enough if it releases a little juice.
Fill the jars: Place the prepared garlic cloves into clean jars. The size of the container doesn’t matter, but fill the jar to a maximum of ¾ of its capacity. Then pour quality honey into the jar so the garlic is completely submerged.
Let it ferment: Cover the jars only (do not seal them) and let them sit for several days in a warm place. During fermentation you may notice small bubbles forming on the surface and the honey beginning to loosen slightly. This process is completely natural and is known for its positive effects. When it comes into contact with the garlic juice, the honey will soften and liquefy.
Fermentation and sealing the jars: The fermentation process usually takes 3-4 weeks. After it is finished you can seal the jars. The result is fermented garlic in honey, which is not only healthier than garlic or honey alone, but also has stronger immune-stimulating effects.
How to use fermented garlic in honey
For optimal effect take one tablespoon daily. This dose should contain one garlic clove and some honey. It is important that the honey comes from a quality source, as its effects are key to the efficacy of the whole preparation.
Health benefits of fermented garlic in honey
Immune support: Fermented garlic strengthens the immune system and helps the body defend against viruses and bacteria. Allicin, a substance found in garlic, boosts the response of white blood cells, which increases the body’s resistance to infections.
Effects on the respiratory tract: Honey is known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. It helps soothe an irritated throat and relieve cough. The combination of honey and garlic thus works as a great natural remedy for colds and sore throats.
Improved digestion and detoxification: Fermented garlic also has detoxifying effects. It helps cleanse the body of toxins and supports proper digestive system function.
Stronger effects of fermentation: Fermented garlic has better health benefits than fresh garlic. In addition, its characteristic odor disappears, which makes this preparation more pleasant to consume.
Fermented garlic in honey: A great prevention against colds and flu
This recipe is ideal not only for prevention but also for strengthening the body during flu season. Use it regularly and you will find that your immunity will be stronger than ever.
